I created this resource after searching for (and failing to find) something similar to suit my own UK learners. The current bundle is for 29 texts, but this is not the complete set yet. If you buy now at this price, all future updates can be re-downloaded for free within your license price. The texts have coverage for: ‘ay’ saying /ai/ ‘oy’ saying /oi/ ‘ie’ saying /igh/ ‘ea’ saying /ee/ ‘a_e’ saying /ai/ ‘e_e’ saying /ee/ ‘i_e’ saying /igh/ ‘o_e’ saying /oa/ ‘u_e’ saying /oo/ or /yoo/ ‘ou’ saying /ow/ long vowels a, e, i o u ‘ue’ saying /oo/ or /yoo/ ‘ew’ saying /oo/ or /yoo/ ‘aw’ saying /or/ ‘au’ saying /or/ ‘ow’ saying /oa/ ‘oe’ saying /oa/ ‘wh’ saying /w/ ‘ph’ saying /f/ ‘c’ saying /s/ & ‘g’ saying /j/ ‘ea’ saying /e/ ‘ie’ saying /ee/ ‘ch’ saying /sh/ & /c/ ‘y’ saying /ee/ ‘tch’ saying /ch/ ‘ear’ and ‘are’ saying /air/ unspoken ‘e’ ‘ore’ saying /or/ All progression / structure within the document is taken from UK Government Publication “Letters and Sounds”, which organises children’s exposure to new phonemes in Phases and Sets, and also ventures into some of the National Curriculum Spelling Patterns. The order of sounds within this document is designed to be progressive, such that one text builds on the next. Although these materials are independent and unendorsed, they could easily be used to support learners on many validated schemes which use Letters and Sounds as their basis, such as Little Wandle or similar. Great to stretch and challenge children in Year 1 who have a solid application of their phonics and / or for children in Year 2 and 3 who still need to practise accessing fully decodable texts. Suits Ofsted’s renewed focus on children reading full decodable texts, matched to phonics knowledge. If you download and use this resource, I’d love it if you could take the time to leave a review.
